The indications are that fly fishing for
black bass will be excellent in Lake Cham
plain by June |, the legal opening of the
season, if one can judge of the future by
the past, for it has been so whenever we
have had veryihigh water. For good
many years the water has not been so
high as at present writing. 1t is one foot
deep in Lake View House boat houses
and guests that have been there can form
some idea of its height. The ice is now,
to day, April 49, two feet thick and very
strong, and we are looking for some dam
age to be done when 1t breaks up. Pick
erel shooting is the rage here now on the
lowlands that are overlooked from the
lake, the fish commissioner having decid-
ed that it was not the intention of the law
to protect those voracious fish; so that
guns and flat-bottomed boats are in great
demand. No illegal fishing has been done
this spring. Have yet to hear OF any nets
being used in Vermont waters The do
minion government agreed to protect the
fish by Il law corresponding with those of
New York and Vermont States and did so
for one season, but they probably got their
backs up on the fishing question, so this
spring they licensed twelve seines in Mis-
slsquoi bay, but prohibited the use of any
other kind of nets; but their catch was
exceedingly small on account of the ice
and lack of current in the lake. Their
time is now up. The fish caught com
prised alleged pike, pike COR pickerel AS
we call them, red-linned suckers, null
lets and perch. Old fishermen predict
that tins coming season will be good for
anglers aud that they will reap a rich har
vest from the waters of Back Bay on Lake
Champlain. II. l.. 5.

This Seasons Crop.
Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX, March 23.-One of
the largest cotton sales made in the south
since the close of the war was consum-
mated here this afternoon after business
hours. Six thousand five hundred bales
of spot cotton changed hands in a single
transaction, being purchased by Kauff-
iman & Runge of P. j. Willis & Bro, the
negotiation being conducted through c..
O. Bingham, the well known broker.
This transaction represents about $685.
600. The total sales of spot cot
ton in this market to-day aggregate
Sll8 bales, representing a cash valuation
of fully $4,000 This is the largest
single days sales in the history of the
cotton trade of Texas and reduces the
amount Of cotton in the city for sale in
first hands to something like 5000 bales,
which is less than for any previous year
at this season. The total stock OF Gal
weston is 81, 500 bales, inclusive of the
cotton in the congresses and on ship
board, only 5000 bales of which are being
offered for sale.
Houston's present stock is Is 900, about
1900 of which is for sale in first hands.
These figures demonstrate that the pres
emit season has been remarkable for the
quick movement of cotton. If the sales
continue st the present rate the cotton
season will practically come to a close on

ATLANTA, GA, March 23.-There is
great excitement among the colUred peO-
pie and ignorant whites along the ba Sc of
the Kennesaw mountains in Cobb and
sGordan counties. For some time a
coIored girs named Lille M4rles, near
Calhoun, has claimed 10 hold converse
with the angels, who told her
many wonderful events of the
future. She was commanded to
ascend a neighboring hill where she
would have g revelation made to her.
sShe returned in Ceep ecst&cy. She
claimed that when she reached the summit
an angel lifted her high up in the air,
whence she could overlook the world
Gan shall be destroyed, said the angel
son the first Saturday Ia December next
an earthquake will swallow up Calhoun.
This will be accompanied by whirlWInd.
Theu great fire will burn all, that is left
and destroy all who are not ready for the
great day"
Many other things were said, all of
which were listened to with the greatest
interest by the colored people. The ex-
element thus created has been famed
into fierce fame by the appearance of a
Greek cross suspended over Mount
Kenesaw. 1t looked as if it were of rain
bow origin. After hanging for half an
hour before the astonished citizens it
slowly dissolved. Several times since
the apparition has been witnessed, and
thus the terror which at first was con-
fined to the negroes has now extended to
the whites, and the result is prayer meet
ings of great interest. The frst Saturday
IN December Is looked forward to as
daY Of terror.
